The whole Barbie thing wasn’t important until the vocal political right made it their new public enemy #1.

Tbh it’s mainly the large companies that can’t figure out what they need to do to diversify.

TBH I think after a company has reached a certain size, it's not an issue to expect multi-platform compatibility. This really is a place where the rules for the top of market can, and probably should be stricter. These companies would

In Our entire system of economy practically does. Like, it’s distasteful and I hate it and it’s one of the reasons I hate capitalism. Your worth is your labor. Nothing more.

I never said non democracies are good. I just said our democracy isn’t mature enough.

Meanwhile the US military gets direct access to American schools. Especially in Rural areas. It’s propaganda all the way down. We now just have someone competing with us on it :)

I mean, then why did we spend so much money and kill so many people destabilizing half the world? If the model was so rotten to begin with, that is. How many people did the west directly and indirectly kill in the 20th century?

What’s really funny is that the democracy Americans keep touting as some amazing system is currently stripping away rights from: Queer folk Women Pro-Palestinian people Maybe it’s time to question if your democracy is at a point to be expor

Actually, I haven’t. I said that the comparison of a human child to a dog is not appropriate. Considering that exact language (e.g. “they are animals”) has helped perpetuate a genocide of Palestinians. I’m not entirely sure if you’re even d

Children have always been treated differently because they are fully and absolutely dependent on their care givers. A puppy and a grown dog don’t actually apply here because we’re talking about humans and not dogs. It’s not even appropriate

Emergency powers are not in the constitution, they’re basically “up in the air” of precedent. It is likely that if an action like this is taken, feathers will be rustled. However if that rustling would impact anything is completely up in th

A good database can act as a cache too though. This is something spanner was kinda magical at, and we need more databases like it.

Serializble is easy to reason about and it also moves the problems with distributed systems to the database where it can more appropriately be handled imo. It is by no means a silver bullet and depending on your application it may not be th

I mean, they have been. Trump pardoned so many people in his last few weeks.

by aaomidi 3y ago
The president can however pardon in states using “emergency powers”. Our constitution does not define the breadth and depth of emergency powers and it would be up for both congress and SCOTUS to decide that the president can’t do that. I wo

This group has stated that a ceasefire in Israel is enough for them to stop iirc.

It’s not just ships directly going to Israel but also ships going to countries that are aiding Israel (basically, all of Europe). It’s effectively a shut down of trade to make _basically everyone_ hurt until the world forces the US to stop

The US, UK, and Russia are generally hated in the Middle East and for good reason. Norway also failed to hold the various parties that came to agreements in Oslo. Not that they had to, but it would’ve been nice to get the mediator on the re

UNSC might force a ceasefire today which will likely stop these attacks on ships.

It would have to be an optional sharing. The UX would need a bit of work. I would trust my technical friend with their chain of trust, but not my hair dresser.

There is a huge opportunity here for Apple to do a proper chain of trust. “You want to talk to Adam, but you haven’t verified their keys yet. However your contacts Anna and Derek have confirmed Adam’s identity”
